D@ Prince Customs was approached by a client who wanted to give her kids custom sneakers based on the Disney Princess movie and product line. The designer focused on Mulan and Princess Jasmine when crafting the Enchanted Preschool Air Max 90s. I found these photos at D@ Prince’s Nike Talk post linked here.

D@ Prince kept it simple with a purple/white colorway that draws attention to the characters rather than the colors. On the right shoe, D@ Prince painted an outstanding likeness of Mulan holding a lamp. The left shoe showcases Princess Jasmine as she is seen in the Disney movie Aladdin.

The designer added the child’s name in white on the purple heel to separate these shoes from the other Disney Princess customs in this order. The Enchanted Preschool Air Max 90s show D@ Prince’s ability to meet customer requests while living up to his high standards. You can check out more on D@ Prince’s designs at his MySpace page linked here.
